well not one player had a good game.
dumb passes, dumb turnovers, bad coaching
down by 3 in the first and you dont change up the lines? dumb
IMO salei lost his job to kindl tonight he blew
no hustle, no battles being won, no effort.
got to play physical, looked pathetic all night. got their ass kicked
hope they wake up

The VladinatorHe earned the NHL Plus/Minus Award in 1995-96, with a plus/minus difference of plus-60. The +60 has been the highest rating a player has finished with in the past 20 seasons, since Wayne Gretzky finished with a +70 in the 1986-87 NHL season

"We've been in the same spot all year long. We won 50 games for the fourth year in a row. People think we're just hum-drum and boring. No, you know what we are, we're good. You can't do what we do every single day and not be good." - Mike Babcock

Getting away from the game here, but whats the deal behind your username? I'm a huge trailer park boys fan, so I'm just wondering

yup

Not that I don't understand your reasoning but they remind of the Pistons 06-07. They looked like a bunch of heartless scrubs, but once the playoffs rolled around they tore it up. I'm hoping we are doing the same thing.

so do i man but having watched all 81 games so far i really doubt it

Any team is capable anything can happen look at Boston and Philly last year

true enough but i just don't think the wings are that kind of team. we're a team that wins because we were supposed to win. we're not going to "oiler" anyone.

Chicago can still miss the playoffs right? Dallas needs to win tonight and tomorrow and the hawks lose on Sunday in regulation. But I have no reason to believe they wont come out 10x harder than tonight in front of their home crowd and their playoff lives on the line, potentially

Just an observation, but isn't it ironic that the sub-million dollar players are the ones that are playing the best?

I am so glad our farm team is full of Hudler's and Filppula's.... (I certainly hope Smith and Sheahan are as good as they are touted.)

We need an entirely new defense. Lids is finally human, Kindl sucks, Ericsson is showing why he was the last player drafted, Kronwall really has gotten bad over then last couple of years, Salei was a bad experiment. What are the Wings gonna do for defense in the off season? I really hope things turn around in the playoffs, I'd hate to see this team fall flat in the first round. I hope and hope above all hope that they turn it on, but if what we have seen the past couple months is the real identity of this team, then there really needs to be some major changes this summer....

The more I watch all these games and other games around the league, the more I am mad that we chose Franzen instead of Hossa. Hossa is MUCH better on the D side, and he seems to be trying every single game I watch for the Hawks. Perhaps more significantly is the fact that Hossa has only played in 65 games and has 26 goals, meanwhile Franzen has played 76 games and has 28 goals. Also, Franzen plays lazy half the time, while Hossa is a factor even when he isn't scoring, though it is still impressive for him to almsot have 30 goals. I am just very disappointed with Franzen and think we should heave kept Hossa. Regardless, babs better take Fraznen off of Datsyuk's line.

Hossa and Datsyuk was a deadly combo... Franzen and Datsyuk not so much. The playoffs I hope he steps it up big time.
